Klone Spamtaur!!!

Crying over here!

 

[drgonzo1969]

Ya spamtaur is solid gold. Well played sir

 

[Laundryroom David]

Not to mention they're over salted AF to hide that they don't taste right

Beyond Meat has some “sausages” that are not punishingly salty and taste pretty good. They scratch the itch now and again, but … yeah … I try not to remember my previous life of Texas bbq, etc.

Don't want to be party pooper, but my mom gave me the vegetarian treatment when I was yong, I'm talking in the late 80s, beginning of the 90s ... I don't miss bacon, but I have it only a few times a year. I do like a good steak or sausages from time to time. To me good balance is key, I do like tofu when properly cooked... but fake meat, no thank you.

But I also respect you, you have your reasons to do it.

I was vegan for 10 years. Processed soy foods make me shit blood now

 

[Laundryroom David]

Well this escalated quickly. One minute we’re laughing about spam and the next someone’s shiitin’ blood

 

[Nic]

For the record... I don't eat spam either... enters the fake meat category to me

 

[Bricksnbeatles]

Some of the fake meat stuff is pretty decent. I prefer the impossible stuff over the beyond stuff, generally speaking. The impossible chicken nuggets, cut into quarters and tossed in Buffalo sauce and put on top of some of that Panera Mac and cheese they sell at Costco makes for a great Buffalo Mac to pack as a lunch.

I’ve had some really good chili lime tempeh wings from a restaurant near where my sister lives too, but those weren’t really trying to be chicken or anything— it’s just tempeh on a wooden handle, seasoned well, crisped up, and coated with a really great sweet chili lime glaze.

And that may be the trick... that thing they sell at the supermarket, I've tried it a couple time and then stopped trying.

Anything seasoned well and cooked the right way can be good.

Sorry but I'm a lifelong carnivore!

I was a vegetarian back when Taco Bell bean burritos were 59¢ each. I lived on those, pasta, hummus, and falafel for years.

 

[jimilee]

There is a brand I get at the store in the frozen section called Morning Star (an hilarious name for a plant-based protein brand, ifkyk), and everything they make is good…even the hot dogs!

My go to is Quorn brand.

I have many authentic places near me, all with various ‘veggie” options. I eat Mexican food at least twice a week, and it lasts two meals…

 

[jimilee]

I don't understand impossible meats...
A good portobello mushroom fried in a pan tastes so much better.

I guess it’s all about variety.

 

[KR Sound]

I guess it’s all about variety.

Ya. I even get an impossible burger whenever we go out to eat sometimes. Feels better than a fatty burger with my fries and cheese

 

[drgonzo1969]

Well this escalated quickly. One minute we’re laughing about spam and the next someone’s shiitin blood

That’s the natural progression of things

 

[Feral Feline]

In Hong Kong tsa-tsan-tang restaurants, Spam is often (as in nearly always) included in a "clubhouse" sandwich ...

Reminds me of an Onion article from way back.
